23/7/2026 13:34|The European Union on Thursday slapped Google with two fines worth 890 million euros ($1 billion) in a move that risks raising tensions with the United States.
The EU fined the US giant 460 million euros for illegally favouring the company's own services -- for example, Google Flights or Google Hotels -- over rivals in search results.
The second fine worth 430 million euros was because Google did not allow app developers to show consumers offers, free of charge, outside of its Google Play store, the European Commission said.
